Chapter 447: Statue
“What a pretentious fellow!” Roy snorted coldly in his heart. With his ability, he could naturally detect that the three electric eyes in the sky were not his main body at all but an illusion formed by a magic power projection.
Sparda had said before that Mundus was a very ugly demon. Roy now vaguely understood that this guy seemed to be trying his best to hide his original appearance and was unwilling to reveal it to the world. This gave Roy the feeling that Mundus had an… inferiority complex?
Roy did not know what the situation was, but Mundus’s three eyes in the sky had already seen Sparda on the battlefield.
“Hahaha, Sparda! You d.a.m.n traitor, have you finally shown yourself?” Mundus’s voice came from the distant sky and echoed throughout the entire battlefield. He said in an ecstatic tone, “Ohoho, look at what this is? There are two… no, three little fellows with the same bloodline as you. Why, are they your seed, Sparda?!”
“Mundus!!” On the ground, Sparda raised his demon sword high, pointed it at Mundus’s three eyes in the sky, and roared, “Forty years ago, you destroyed my family and killed my wife. Now, it’s time for you to pay this debt! Today, I will completely end you here!”
“Ridiculous!” Mundus sneered. “You’re the one who should repay your debt. Back then, because of my carelessness, you tricked me and caused me to be trapped in the Demon World for more than two thousand years. During these two thousand years, I wanted you to die at every moment, so much so that I’m on the verge of going crazy thinking about it! Your dead human woman was nothing more than interest. This time, I will bury you, along with your bloodline, your three Children of Taboo, forever under the poisonous ground of the Demon World so that your souls can never reincarnate and can only wail in the endless void!”
“Is that so? Come on then!” Sparda released all his magic power pressure and shouted at Mundus, “Don’t use these illusions that can only fool the weak. Show your ridiculously ugly true body! Come and end it with me!”
Sparda’s words seemed to pierce Mundus’s sore spot and caused his three eyes to tremble. He roared angrily, “Shut up! If you want to die, then I’ll fulfill your wis.h.!.+”
The next moment, the illusion of Mundus’s eyes in the sky disappeared, and what replaced it was an intense tremor in Demon King City.
From afar, Roy saw the building in the center of Demon King City collapse, causing dust to fill the air. And amid the dust, a colossal body stood up.
It was a white… stone statue nearly twenty meters tall!
This stone statue was in the image of a human elder. He had a thick beard, and his face was the combination of solemn, kind, and so on. Behind the stone statue was a pair of huge white angel wings made of stone. As the stone statue stood up in Demon King City, these wings spread out, and the enormous wingspan seemed to be able to envelop Demon King City.
It was hard to imagine that such a stone statue could move as freely as a living creature, but it did indeed fly. Its huge stone wings flapped, fanning a violent hurricane. The stone statue slowly flew off the ground and toward the battlefield.
It was not until the stone statue flew closer that Roy realized that it really looked like an angel. But what was strange was that there was a giant cavity in the chest of the stone statue, giving people the feeling that… it did not have a heart…
Needless to say, this stone statue was definitely made according to Mundus’s wishes, so the large hole missing in the heart of the stone statue might have some special meaning.
After flying above the battlefield, Mundus stopped. The arms of the stone statue slowly folded in front of him as he looked down at Sparda, Dante, and the others. They had to admit that Mundus’s statue looked truly solemn and had an unusual kind of dignity at a close distance.
“Using this angel appearance as his statue, isn’t Mundus afraid that his demons will rebel?” Rafaro looked at the statue in the sky and could not help but mock.
“Hmph. Although he uses an angel’s appearance, this status is still emanating a rich aura of darkness. Moreover, with such a powerful magic power pressure, as long as those demons aren’t stupid, who would dare to question him?” Roy said.
Just as Roy said, the demons on the battlefield had already stopped. They had paid a ma.s.sive price of casualties but could not take down Sparda, so they knew that it was impossible, and they could only wait for their boss to take action. After Mundus appeared, the demons looked at his angel statue. Although their eyes were flickering, they all lowered their heads and retreated to the side.
“Kneel!” Mundus looked down at Sparda on the battlefield and said with a reverberating voice, “Kneel down, Sinner Sparda! In that case, I might let you die less painfully when I execute you!”
However, Sparda could not be bothered to argue with him. He injected magic power into his demon sword, causing a long blade beam to shoot up from it. He used this action to express his determination to fight.
Behind Sparda, Dante walked up with his sword on his shoulder and stood on Sparda’s left. He looked up at the colossal statue and said jokingly, “Aha, why is it still this broken statue? I broke it once on Mallet Island. Why was it restored?”
Vergil silently stepped forward with Yamato and walked to Sparda’s right. “Can’t we just cut him into pieces this time?”
“I’ve cut down many demons, but this is the first time I’m going to cut down a stone!” Nero walked behind Sparda and stabbed Red Queen into the ground. He twisted the energy valve a few times, causing the Red Queen’s blade to emit a scorching red light. He smiled and said, “But seeing as this is the first big gathering of the Sparda family, I’ll treat it as a celebration…”
Looking at his three descendants all showing fearlessness and courage, Sparda felt very pleased and became high-spirited.
At this moment, Sparda felt bold and full of fighting spirit. After laughing loudly, he led the way. He stomped the ground, spread his wings, and shot toward Mundus in the sky. Behind him, Dante and Vergil, who quickly entered their demon forms, swiftly followed. Only Nero used his cybernetic arm to shoot out a hook that wrapped around the foot of the Mundus statue and stuck to it.
The Sparda family went into battle together, and the four of them launched a battle of revenge against Mundus…
“Fools!” Mundus sneered. The statue spread his arms, and a circle of demon runes with intense electric lights appeared out of thin air and surrounded his body. These runes blossomed with formidable magic power before shooting red lightning at Sparda and the others.
In merely a single exchange, the battle entered the climax. The powerful magic power of both sides collided and affected almost the entire battlefield. The surrounding onlooking demons did not expect such a tremendous commotion, and they were all implicated and smashed into pieces. The remaining demons were frightened and hurriedly escaped, but Fat Tiger chased after them with Cerberus. Sareth and Ca.s.sandra rode on Fat Tiger’s neck and shouted as they beat these fleeing dogs.
Dark golden flames flashed, and Junia appeared in the sky and landed on Rafaro’s back.
Her face was flushed, as though she was extremely excited from the battle just now. After arriving in front of Roy, she immediately rubbed against him, her long legs and tail rubbing against his body continuously. She looked at Roy coquettishly. “Darling, aren’t you going to do it?”
“Don’t worry!” Roy knew that she was asking about Mundus, so he grinned sinisterly. “The magic power pressure displayed by this statue is only about twice that of the lord level. This doesn’t seem to be Mundus’s true power. His true body should still be hidden in the statue. With this strength, the Sparda family should be able to deal with him. When they break the statue and force Mundus’s true body to appear, I’ll find an opportunity to take action.”
“Then, are you just going to watch? Do you want to do something?” Junia stretched out her tongue, licked Roy’s chest, and giggled. “I can still exist for about twenty minutes. Do you want to take the opportunity to have a good time with me?”
“Ahem!” Roy almost choked on her words. He waved his hand. “Forget it. This situation isn’t suitable.”
Junia giggled. After Roy grabbed her tail and slapped her b.u.t.t twice, she calmed down and let Roy continue watching the battle.
It had to be said that when Mundus fought, the sound and light effects were really good. All kinds of high-end and flashy skills were at his fingertips, and even the darkness in the sky of the Demon World was dispelled. But the Sparta family besieging him succeeded in attacking the statue one after another, cutting it into pieces.
In particular was Sparda’s sword. According to Roy’s observation, in addition to his fierce sword skills, there was another phenomenon that was very worthy of Roy’s attention. The damage that Sparda caused to the Mundus statue was much greater than that of Dante and Vergil.
This was not because Sparda’s magic power was stronger than that of Dante and the others. Even if it were the same quality magic power that Dante and the others used, it would still be the same situation.
Roy noticed that Sparda’s mouth was moving slightly every time he attacked, seemingly like he was muttering something.
“Is he declaring Mundus’s true name?” Roy rubbed his chin and guessed in surprise. “Is this how an enemy’s true name is used in battle?”
